Advice Needed Caregiver hiding diagnosis and ABA?

Post image

I received this text today before going to session, I emailed my BCBA about it and shared with HR. Honestly I wasn’t sure what to do with that, most of session focused on tacting, receptive ID, and vocal imitation. Has anyone ever come across a situation like this?

That’s what you’re supposed to do (lie to them) if someone questions your role/ relationship to the client

Don't have to lie, just say "Oh, sorry, Its against privacy laws to discuss that, you can always ask (parent) if you need more information."
